Sorry if that upsets you as a Lakers fan, but that series is pretty infamous and I watched it when it happened and couldn't believe what I was seeing.
I try to reserve hard complaints about refs for times they actually deserve it.
Just as flags should only be thrown when there is a clear violation, I believe fans should only pull the "refs card" when it's clear they're either doing a very poor job or outright not calling the game evenly.
Meaning they are calling late hit on Mahomes, but not roughing on Burrow. For example. Or when they make up rules as they go.
My memory is (very) foggy, but I want to say there was a time the Steelers hit one of our guys late in a key game and the NFL "adjusted" the rule after the season, but it should have been a violation at the time. It was something along those lines. Not sure if anyone will remember what I'm talking about.
I don't disagree with the Kings/Lakers series, that was given to "us" and it felt dirty, I was just immature but anytime the free throw disparity came up...let's just say I know how Chiefs fans feel lol.
